Trailer Debut: The Spierig Brothers’ Daybreakers

You’ve heard about it, you’ve been waiting for it (well, some of you have, anyway), and now it’s finally here: the very first trailer for Aussie directors Michael and Peter Spierig’s futuristic horror movie “Daybreakers”. For those who saw the brothers’ “Undead”, it’s obvious they had a bigger budget this time around, and the cast, of course, is solid, with Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, and Sam Neill all in big roles. Unfortunately maybe I just expecting too much, because the trailer leaves me just a bit underwhelmed. Shouldn’t it be more, I don’t know, exciting? Anyways, first trailer for “Daybreakers” below.

In the year 2019, a plague has transformed most every human into vampires. Faced with a dwindling blood supply, the fractured dominant race plots their survival; meanwhile, a researcher works with a covert band of vamps on a way to save humankind.
